Description

光記録媒体再生装置Optical recording medium playback device
 この発明は、CD(Compact Disk)やDVD(Digital Versatile Disk)などの光記録媒体を直接的に挿入および排出する光記録媒体再生装置に関するものである。 The present invention relates to an optical recording medium reproducing apparatus for directly inserting and ejecting an optical recording medium such as a CD (Compact Disk) or a DVD (Digital Versatile Disk).
 従来より、CDやDVDなどの光記録媒体を搬送トレイを用いることなく、直接装置内に挿入するスロットローディング方式を採用した光記録媒体再生装置が用いられている。スロットローディング方式の光記録媒体再生装置では、挿入口から光記録媒体が挿入されると搬送手段により装置内部の再生位置に向けて搬送される。光記録媒体以外の異物の装置内部への進入を防止するため、搬送手段による光記録媒体の搬送が行われている際に、異常と判断される状態が検出された場合には直ちに搬送動作を停止し、排出動作に移行する。そのため、挿入口から光記録媒体が挿入され、搬送手段により搬送動作が行われている際に、当該光記録媒体が引き抜かれると、異常な動作と判断して直ちに排出動作に移行し、排出動作の状態が解除されるまで光記録媒体の再挿入を受け付けない。そのため、ユーザは排出動作状態が解除されるまで光記録媒体の再挿入を待機する必要があり、操作性が悪いという問題があった。 Conventionally, an optical recording medium reproducing apparatus adopting a slot loading method in which an optical recording medium such as a CD or a DVD is directly inserted into the apparatus without using a transport tray has been used. In the slot loading type optical recording medium reproducing apparatus, when the optical recording medium is inserted from the insertion slot, the optical recording medium is conveyed by the conveying means toward the reproducing position inside the apparatus. In order to prevent foreign matter other than the optical recording medium from entering the inside of the apparatus, when the optical recording medium is being transported by the transporting means, if a state that is determined to be abnormal is detected, the transport operation is immediately performed. Stop and move to discharge operation. Therefore, when the optical recording medium is inserted from the insertion port and the transporting operation is performed by the transporting means, if the optical recording medium is pulled out, it is judged as an abnormal operation, and the operation immediately proceeds to the discharging operation. Re-insertion of the optical recording medium is not accepted until this state is released. For this reason, the user has to wait for re-insertion of the optical recording medium until the ejection operation state is canceled, and there is a problem that the operability is poor.
 この対策として特許文献1では、光記録媒体搬送開始後、所定時間内に光記録媒体がクランプ位置に移行したことが検知されず、且つ挿入検知スイッチがOFFでありドアスイッチがドア閉状態を示している場合には、ドアを開放して光記録媒体を直ちに搬送可能な状態に設定するディスク装置が開示されている。当該構成により、挿入口から光記録媒体を挿入した後に引き抜いた場合であっても、直ちに光記録媒体の受け入れを可能としている。 As a countermeasure, Patent Document 1 does not detect that the optical recording medium has moved to the clamp position within a predetermined time after the start of conveyance of the optical recording medium, and the insertion detection switch is OFF and the door switch indicates the door closed state. In this case, a disk device is disclosed in which the door is opened and the optical recording medium is set in a state where it can be immediately conveyed. With this configuration, even when the optical recording medium is inserted and then pulled out from the insertion slot, the optical recording medium can be immediately received.

 しかしながら、上述した特許文献1に開示された技術では、光記録媒体挿入後の引き抜きに対して直後の再挿入を可能としているが、再挿入時の異物の挿入に対する対策が取られておらず、装置内への異物の搬送を許可してしまう可能性があるという課題があった。また、光記録媒体再生装置の破損や故障を未然に防止するためには、装置内への異物の搬送を確実に防止する必要があるため精度の高い異物検知機能が不可欠であり、ユーザの操作性向上を実現する技術との両立が困難であるという課題があった。 However, in the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 described above, reinsertion is possible immediately after removal after insertion of the optical recording medium, but no countermeasure is taken against the insertion of foreign matter during reinsertion. There has been a problem that there is a possibility of allowing the conveyance of foreign matter into the apparatus. In addition, in order to prevent damage or failure of the optical recording medium playback device, it is necessary to reliably prevent foreign matter from being transported into the device, so a highly accurate foreign matter detection function is indispensable. There is a problem that it is difficult to achieve compatibility with the technology that improves the performance.

実施の形態1.
 図1は、この発明の実施の形態1による光記録媒体再生装置の構成を示すブロック図である。図1において、光記録媒体再生装置は、第1の測定部10、第2の測定部20、演算処理部30、制御部40、サーボ部50および駆動部60で構成されている。当該光記録媒体再生装置には、スロットローディング方式により、挿入口(不図示)を介して直接的に光記録媒体70が挿入される。次に、各構成の詳細について説明する。
Hereinafter, in order to explain the present invention in more detail, modes for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of an optical recording medium reproducing apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In FIG. 1, the optical recording medium reproducing device includes a first measuring unit 10, a second measuring unit 20, an arithmetic processing unit 30, a control unit 40, a servo unit 50, and a driving unit 60. In the optical recording medium reproducing apparatus, the optical recording medium 70 is directly inserted through an insertion slot (not shown) by the slot loading method. Next, details of each component will be described.
 第1の測定部10および第2の測定部20は、発光素子11,21、受光素子12,22、I/V変換器13,23および増幅器14,24で構成されている。
 発光素子11,21は、例えば発光ダイオードなどで構成され、所定方向に向けて光を放出する。受光素子12,22は、例えばフォトトランジスタなどで構成され、発光素子11,21から放出された光を受光し、受光した光の強度(以下、受光量と称する)に応じた電流値を出力する。発光素子11,21および発光素子11,21は、光記録媒体70の挿入口(不図示)近傍に配置される。なお、詳細な配置位置については後述する。
The first measurement unit 10 and the second measurement unit 20 include light emitting elements 11 and 21, light receiving elements 12 and 22, I / V converters 13 and 23, and amplifiers 14 and 24.
The light emitting elements 11 and 21 are configured by, for example, light emitting diodes, and emit light in a predetermined direction. The light receiving elements 12 and 22 are configured by, for example, phototransistors or the like, receive light emitted from the light emitting elements 11 and 21, and output a current value corresponding to the intensity of the received light (hereinafter referred to as the amount of received light). . The light emitting elements 11 and 21 and the light emitting elements 11 and 21 are disposed in the vicinity of an insertion opening (not shown) of the optical recording medium 70. Detailed arrangement positions will be described later.
 I/V変換器13,23は、受光素子12,22から出力される受光量に応じた電流値を電圧値に変換する。増幅器14,24は、制御部40から入力される制御信号を増幅し、発光素子11に出力する。 The I / V converters 13 and 23 convert a current value corresponding to the amount of light received from the light receiving elements 12 and 22 into a voltage value. The amplifiers 14 and 24 amplify the control signal input from the control unit 40 and output it to the light emitting element 11.
 演算処理部30は、AD変換器31、挿入検知部32、タイマ33および挿入状態判定部34で構成されている。
 AD変換器31は、I/V変換器13,23で変換された電圧値をA/D変換する。
挿入検知部32は、AD変換器31でA/D変換された受光量に基づいて、受光素子12および受光素子22の受光量が規定値より大きいか否かに基づいて挿入物の挿入を検知する。受光素子12,22の受光量が規定値以下である場合には、装置内に挿入された挿入物により受光素子12,22が遮光されていると検知し、受光素子12,22の受光量が規定値より大きい場合には、挿入物が挿入されておらず、挿入物により受光素子12,22が遮光されていないと検知する。
The arithmetic processing unit 30 includes an AD converter 31, an insertion detection unit 32, a timer 33, and an insertion state determination unit 34.
The AD converter 31 performs A / D conversion on the voltage value converted by the I / V converters 13 and 23.
The insertion detection unit 32 detects the insertion of the insert based on whether or not the received light amounts of the light receiving element 12 and the light receiving element 22 are larger than a predetermined value based on the received light amount A / D converted by the AD converter 31. To do. When the amount of light received by the light receiving elements 12 and 22 is equal to or less than the specified value, it is detected that the light receiving elements 12 and 22 are shielded from light by the insert inserted in the apparatus, and the amount of light received by the light receiving elements 12 and 22 is determined. When it is larger than the specified value, it is detected that no insert is inserted and the light receiving elements 12 and 22 are not shielded from light by the insert.
 タイマ33は、挿入検知部32がいずれかの受光素子12,22の受光量が規定値以下であると判定した場合に、時間の計測を開始する。すなわち、挿入物の挿入開始からの経過時間を計測する。挿入状態判定部34は、挿入検知部32から入力される受光素子12,22の受光状態と、タイマ33の計測時間に基づいて、光記録媒体70が正常挿入されたか、光記録媒体70が挿入された後短時間で引き抜かれたか、挿入された光記録媒体70の搬送動作中に強制的に引き抜かれたか、光記録媒体70以外の異物が挿入されたかなどの挿入状態を判定する。 The timer 33 starts measuring time when the insertion detection unit 32 determines that the amount of light received by any one of the light receiving elements 12 and 22 is equal to or less than a specified value. That is, the elapsed time from the start of insertion of the insert is measured. The insertion state determination unit 34 determines whether the optical recording medium 70 has been normally inserted based on the light reception state of the light receiving elements 12 and 22 input from the insertion detection unit 32 and the measurement time of the timer 33 or whether the optical recording medium 70 has been inserted. Then, it is determined whether it has been pulled out in a short time after it has been pulled out, forcibly pulled out during the transport operation of the inserted optical recording medium 70, or whether foreign matter other than the optical recording medium 70 has been inserted.
 制御部40は、挿入検知部32の検知結果、および挿入状態判定部34の判定結果に基づいて、サーボ部50を介して駆動部60を制御し、光記録媒体70の搬送動作あるいは排出動作を制御する。サーボ部50は、制御部40の制御に基づいて、搬送制御信号を駆動部60に出力する。
 駆動部60は、増幅器61、モータ62、搬送機構63およびローディング完了検知部64で構成され、光記憶媒体70の挿入を受け付ける。サーボ部50から入力された搬送制御信号は、増幅器61で増幅され、モータ62が動作を開始して搬送機構63を駆動し、光記録媒体70を挿入方向に搬送する、あるいは光記録媒体70を排出方向に搬送する。光記録媒体70が再生位置に到達すると搬送動作を完了し、排出位置に到達すると排出動作を完了する。ローディング完了検知部64は、光記録媒体70が再生位置に到達すると押されるスイッチを備え、スイッチのON/OFFによりローディング完了を検知する。光記録媒体70は、光ビームの入射により記録情報が再生される記録面を有している。
The control unit 40 controls the drive unit 60 via the servo unit 50 based on the detection result of the insertion detection unit 32 and the determination result of the insertion state determination unit 34, and performs the transport operation or discharge operation of the optical recording medium 70. Control. The servo unit 50 outputs a conveyance control signal to the drive unit 60 based on the control of the control unit 40.
The drive unit 60 includes an amplifier 61, a motor 62, a transport mechanism 63, and a loading completion detection unit 64, and accepts insertion of the optical storage medium 70. The transport control signal input from the servo unit 50 is amplified by the amplifier 61, and the motor 62 starts operating to drive the transport mechanism 63 to transport the optical recording medium 70 in the insertion direction, or to transport the optical recording medium 70. Transport in the discharge direction. When the optical recording medium 70 reaches the reproduction position, the transport operation is completed, and when the optical recording medium 70 reaches the discharge position, the discharge operation is completed. The loading completion detection unit 64 includes a switch that is pressed when the optical recording medium 70 reaches the reproduction position, and detects loading completion by turning on / off the switch. The optical recording medium 70 has a recording surface on which recorded information is reproduced by the incidence of a light beam.
 次に、第1の測定部10および第2の測定部20の配置位置、および挿入物の挿入および搬送について説明する。なお以下では、挿入物として装置が再生可能な光記録媒体70が挿入された場合を例に説明する。
 図2は、実施の形態1による光記録媒体再生装置の第1の測定部および第2の測定部の配置位置および光記録媒体の搬送動作を示す図である。図2(a)はユーザ動作により光記録媒体70が挿入口に挿入された状態、あるいは光記録媒体70が排出動作完了位置まで搬送された状態を示す上面図であり、図2(b)はその側面図を示している。図2(c)は光記録媒体70が再生位置に搬送された状態を示す上面図であり、図2(d)はその側面図を示している。
Next, arrangement positions of the first measurement unit 10 and the second measurement unit 20, and insertion and conveyance of the insert will be described. Hereinafter, a case where an optical recording medium 70 that can be reproduced by the apparatus is inserted as an insert will be described as an example.
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the arrangement positions of the first measurement unit and the second measurement unit of the optical recording medium reproducing apparatus according to Embodiment 1 and the operation of transporting the optical recording medium. 2A is a top view showing a state in which the optical recording medium 70 is inserted into the insertion slot by a user operation, or a state in which the optical recording medium 70 is transported to the discharge operation completion position, and FIG. The side view is shown. FIG. 2C is a top view showing a state where the optical recording medium 70 is conveyed to the reproduction position, and FIG. 2D shows a side view thereof.
 図2に示すように第1の測定部10の発光素子11と受光素子12は、光記録媒体70の挿入口(不図示)近傍、且つ光記録媒体70の挿入方向と平行な方向に並列させる。第2の測定部20の発光素子21と受光素子22は、光記録媒体70の挿入口近傍、且つ光記録媒体70の挿入方向と垂直な方向に並列させる。 As shown in FIG. 2, the light emitting element 11 and the light receiving element 12 of the first measuring unit 10 are arranged in parallel in the vicinity of the insertion opening (not shown) of the optical recording medium 70 and in a direction parallel to the insertion direction of the optical recording medium 70. . The light emitting element 21 and the light receiving element 22 of the second measuring unit 20 are juxtaposed in the vicinity of the insertion opening of the optical recording medium 70 and in a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction of the optical recording medium 70.
 図2(b)に示すように、装置内に光記録媒体70などの挿入物が存在しない場合には、発光素子11,21から放出された光は、装置内の発光素子11,21および受光素子12,22に対向する位置に設けられたプリズム80などの偏光手段により透過または反射されて受光素子12,22に入射する。一方、装置内に光記録媒体70などの挿入物が存在する場合には、発光素子11,21が挿入物により遮光され、受光素子12,22に光が入射しない遮光状態となる。なお、図2(b)および図2(d)では、発光素子11および受光素子12に対向して配置したプリズム80のみを示している。 As shown in FIG. 2B, when there is no insert such as an optical recording medium 70 in the apparatus, the light emitted from the light emitting elements 11 and 21 is received by the light emitting elements 11 and 21 in the apparatus. The light is transmitted or reflected by a polarizing means such as a prism 80 provided at a position facing the elements 12 and 22 and enters the light receiving elements 12 and 22. On the other hand, when an insert such as the optical recording medium 70 exists in the apparatus, the light emitting elements 11 and 21 are shielded by the insert, and the light receiving elements 12 and 22 are blocked from entering light. 2B and 2D, only the prism 80 arranged to face the light emitting element 11 and the light receiving element 12 is shown.
 さらに、図2(a),(b)に示すように、正規の光記録媒体70がユーザ動作により挿入された状態、および排出動作完了位置まで搬送された状態では、挿入方向と垂直な方向に並列させた受光素子22が光記録媒体70により遮光され、一方挿入方向の平行な方向に並列させた受光素子12は光記録媒体70により遮光されない位置に配置される。当該配置により、受光素子22のみ受光量が規定値以下となった場合に、再生可能な光記録媒体70の挿入あるいは排出位置までの搬送動作の完了を判断することができる。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, in a state where the regular optical recording medium 70 is inserted by a user operation and is transported to a discharge operation completion position, the optical recording medium 70 is in a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction. The light receiving elements 22 arranged in parallel are shielded from light by the optical recording medium 70, while the light receiving elements 12 arranged in parallel in the direction parallel to the insertion direction are arranged at positions not shielded by the optical recording medium 70. With this arrangement, when the amount of light received by only the light receiving element 22 is less than or equal to the specified value, it is possible to determine whether the reproducible optical recording medium 70 has been inserted or ejected to the discharge position.
 また、図2(c),(d)に示すように、光記録媒体70が再生位置に搬送された状態では、受光素子12および受光素子22がともに遮光される位置に配置される。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 2C and 2D, in a state where the optical recording medium 70 is conveyed to the reproduction position, both the light receiving element 12 and the light receiving element 22 are disposed at a position where they are shielded from light.
 さらに、再生可能な光記録媒体70が挿入位置から再生位置まで搬送される過程では(図2(a),(b)から図2(c),(d)にかけての移動)、受光素子22は常に光記録媒体70により遮光された状態となる。そのため、受光素子22が遮光された状態となった後に、搬送機構63が駆動しているが受光素子22が非遮光状態となった場合には、光記録媒体70が引き抜かれた、あるいは異物が挿入されたと判断することができる。なお、図2で示した発光素子11,21および受光素子12,22の配置とした場合には、異物の形状は、挿入時に受光素子22を遮光し、異物が装置内に完全に搬送される前に受光素子22が受光に変化する形状であるものとする。 Further, in the process in which the reproducible optical recording medium 70 is transported from the insertion position to the reproduction position (movement from FIGS. 2A and 2B to FIGS. 2C and 2D), the light receiving element 22 is The light recording medium 70 is always shielded from light. For this reason, if the transport mechanism 63 is driven after the light receiving element 22 is shielded from light, but the light receiving element 22 is in a non-shielded state, the optical recording medium 70 has been pulled out or foreign matter has been removed. It can be determined that it has been inserted. In the case of the arrangement of the light emitting elements 11 and 21 and the light receiving elements 12 and 22 shown in FIG. 2, the shape of the foreign matter is such that the light receiving element 22 is shielded during insertion and the foreign matter is completely conveyed into the apparatus. It is assumed that the light receiving element 22 has a shape that changes to light reception before.
 このように、二対の発光素子11,21および受光素子12,22を、図2に示すように配置し、受光素子12,22の受光量を参照して再生可能な光記録媒体70を含めた挿入物により遮光された状態を検知することにより、挿入物が再生可能な光記録媒体70であるか異物であるかを判別することができる。さらに再生可能な光記録媒体70が正常に挿入されたか、挿入後短時間(例えば、2秒や3秒など)で引き抜かれたかを判別することができる。これにより、異物の挿入を精度よく検出すると共に、再生可能な光記録媒体70が挿入後短時間で引き抜かれた場合には、すぐに再挿入を受け付ける制御を行うことができる。 In this way, the two pairs of light emitting elements 11 and 21 and the light receiving elements 12 and 22 are arranged as shown in FIG. 2, and the optical recording medium 70 that can be reproduced by referring to the amount of light received by the light receiving elements 12 and 22 is included. By detecting the state of being blocked by the inserted insert, it is possible to determine whether the insert is a reproducible optical recording medium 70 or a foreign object. Furthermore, it is possible to determine whether the reproducible optical recording medium 70 has been inserted normally or whether it has been pulled out in a short time after insertion (for example, 2 seconds or 3 seconds). Accordingly, it is possible to accurately detect the insertion of a foreign substance and to control to accept re-insertion immediately when the reproducible optical recording medium 70 is pulled out in a short time after insertion.
 なお、発光素子および受光素子の配置数および配置位置は、図2の構成に限定されるものではなく、適宜変更可能である。 Note that the number and arrangement positions of the light emitting elements and the light receiving elements are not limited to the configuration shown in FIG. 2, and can be changed as appropriate.
 次に、光記録媒体再生装置の動作について図3および図4を参照しながら説明する。
 図3は、実施の形態1による光記録媒体再生装置の動作を示すフローチャートである。図3のフローチャートでは、光記録媒体70の正常挿入、光記録媒体70が短時間挿入された後の引き抜ぬかれた状態(以下、短時間挿入と称する)、光記録媒体70が所定量以上搬送された後に強制的に引き抜かれた状態(以下、強制的引き抜きと称する)、および光記録媒体70以外の異物の挿入を検知する処理の動作を示す。また、図3のフローチャートでは、発光素子11,21および受光素子12,22を図2に示す配置とした場合を例に説明する。また、異物の形状は、挿入時に受光素子22を遮光し、異物が装置内に完全に搬送される前に受光素子22が受光に変化する形状であるものとする。
Next, the operation of the optical recording medium reproducing apparatus will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the optical recording medium reproducing apparatus according to the first embodiment. In the flowchart of FIG. 3, the optical recording medium 70 is normally inserted, the optical recording medium 70 is pulled out after being inserted for a short time (hereinafter referred to as short-time insertion), and the optical recording medium 70 is a predetermined amount or more. The state of forcibly withdrawing after being transported (hereinafter referred to as forced withdrawal) and the operation of processing for detecting the insertion of foreign matter other than the optical recording medium 70 are shown. In the flowchart of FIG. 3, the case where the light emitting elements 11 and 21 and the light receiving elements 12 and 22 are arranged as shown in FIG. 2 will be described as an example. In addition, the shape of the foreign matter is a shape in which the light receiving element 22 is shielded during insertion and the light receiving element 22 changes to light reception before the foreign matter is completely conveyed into the apparatus.
 また図4は、光記録媒体70の正常挿入、光記録媒体70の短時間挿入、光記録媒体70の強制的引き抜きあるいは光記録媒体70以外の異物の挿入を判定するための、判定条件を示した表である。 FIG. 4 shows determination conditions for determining normal insertion of the optical recording medium 70, short-time insertion of the optical recording medium 70, forced extraction of the optical recording medium 70, or insertion of foreign matter other than the optical recording medium 70. It is a table.
 挿入検知部32が、受光素子22の受光量が規定値以下になったと検知すると(ステップST1)、当該検知結果に基づきタイマ33が計測を開始する(ステップST2)。さらに、挿入検知部32は検知結果を制御部40に出力し、制御部40は入力された判定結果に基づいて、サーボ部50を介して駆動部60を駆動させ、光記録媒体70の搬送動作を開始する(ステップST3)。挿入状態判定部34は、挿入検知部32による受光素子12,22の検知結果を参照し、「受光素子22のみが遮光」である状態から、「受光素子22が受光」である状態に移行したか否か判定を行う(ステップST4)。 When the insertion detection unit 32 detects that the amount of light received by the light receiving element 22 has become equal to or less than the specified value (step ST1), the timer 33 starts measurement based on the detection result (step ST2). Further, the insertion detection unit 32 outputs the detection result to the control unit 40, and the control unit 40 drives the drive unit 60 via the servo unit 50 based on the input determination result to carry the optical recording medium 70. Is started (step ST3). The insertion state determination unit 34 refers to the detection results of the light receiving elements 12 and 22 by the insertion detection unit 32 and shifts from the state where “only the light receiving element 22 is shielded” to the state where “the light receiving element 22 is light received”. Is determined (step ST4).
 判定条件を満たす場合(ステップST4;YES)、挿入状態判定部34は、制御部40に対して搬送動作停止を指示する。制御部40は、搬送動作停止指示に基づいてサーボ部50を介して駆動部60を制御し、光記録媒体70の搬送動作を停止する(ステップST5)。 When the determination condition is satisfied (step ST4; YES), the insertion state determination unit 34 instructs the control unit 40 to stop the conveyance operation. The control unit 40 controls the drive unit 60 via the servo unit 50 based on the conveyance operation stop instruction, and stops the conveyance operation of the optical recording medium 70 (step ST5).
 挿入状態判定部34は、さらに挿入検知部32による受光素子12,22の検知結果およびタイマ33の計測時間を参照し、あらかじめ設定した光記録媒体70の再挿入を受け付ける時間(以下、待機時間と称する)内に受光素子22の受光量が規定値以下になったか、すなわち光記録媒体70が再度挿入されたか否か判定を行う(ステップST6)。待機時間内に再度挿入された場合(ステップST6;YES)、挿入状態判定部34はタイマ33の計測値をリセットし(ステップST7)、ステップST2の処理に戻り、上述した処理を繰り返す。 The insertion state determination unit 34 further refers to the detection results of the light receiving elements 12 and 22 by the insertion detection unit 32 and the measurement time of the timer 33, and receives a preset re-insertion of the optical recording medium 70 (hereinafter referred to as a standby time). In step ST6, it is determined whether the amount of light received by the light receiving element 22 has fallen below a predetermined value, that is, whether the optical recording medium 70 has been inserted again. If it is inserted again within the waiting time (step ST6; YES), the insertion state determination unit 34 resets the measurement value of the timer 33 (step ST7), returns to the process of step ST2, and repeats the above-described process.
 一方、待機時間内に再度挿入されなかった場合には(ステップST6;NO)、挿入状態判定部34は挿入物が異物であると判定する(ステップST8)。その後、制御部40に対して排出動作開始を指示し、制御部40は排出動作開始指示に基づいてサーバ部50を介して駆動部60を制御し、排出動作へ移行させる(ステップST9)。排出動作完了後(ステップST10)、処理を終了する。 On the other hand, when it is not inserted again within the waiting time (step ST6; NO), the insertion state determination unit 34 determines that the insert is a foreign object (step ST8). Thereafter, the control unit 40 is instructed to start the discharge operation, and the control unit 40 controls the drive unit 60 via the server unit 50 based on the discharge operation start instruction, and shifts to the discharge operation (step ST9). After the discharge operation is completed (step ST10), the process is terminated.
 このように、光記録媒体70が短時間挿入された後に引き抜かれた場合、搬送動作を停止し、待機時間内であれば光記録媒体70の再挿入を受け付けるように構成したので、光記録媒体70が短時間挿入され、引き抜かれた直後であっても再挿入を受け付けることができ、操作性を向上させることができる。 As described above, when the optical recording medium 70 is pulled out after being inserted for a short time, the conveyance operation is stopped, and re-insertion of the optical recording medium 70 is accepted within the waiting time. Even immediately after 70 is inserted for a short time and pulled out, reinsertion can be accepted, and operability can be improved.
 このように、「受光素子22のみが遮光」である状態から、「受光素子22が受光」である状態に移行したが、当該移行に要した時間が判定時間を越えた場合には、正規の光記録媒体70ではない異物の挿入および搬送が行われていると判断し、排出動作に移行することができ、再生可能な光記録媒体70以外の異物の挿入および搬送を防止することができる。 As described above, the state where “only the light receiving element 22 is shielded” is shifted to the state where “the light receiving element 22 is light received”. It can be determined that foreign matter that is not the optical recording medium 70 is being inserted and transported, and the operation can be shifted to a discharge operation, and foreign matter other than the reproducible optical recording medium 70 can be prevented from being inserted and transported.
 一方、判定条件を満たさない場合(ステップST4;NO)、挿入状態判定部34は、挿入検知部32による受光素子12,22の検知結果を参照し、「受光素子22が遮光」/「受光素子12が遮光」である状態から、「受光素子22が受光」/「受光素子12が遮光」である状態に移行したか否か判定を行う(ステップST11)。ステップST11の判定条件を満たす場合(ステップST11;YES)、ステップST8の処理に進む。一方、ステップST11の判定条件を満たさない場合(ステップST11;NO)、挿入状態判定部34は、挿入検知部32による受光素子12,22の検知結果を参照し、「受光素子22が遮光」/「受光素子12が遮光」である状態から、「受光素子22が受光」/「受光素子12が受光」である状態に移行したか否か判定を行う(ステップST12)。 On the other hand, when the determination condition is not satisfied (step ST4; NO), the insertion state determination unit 34 refers to the detection result of the light receiving elements 12 and 22 by the insertion detection unit 32, and “the light receiving element 22 is shielded” / “light receiving element”. It is determined whether or not the state in which 12 is “light-shielding” has shifted to the state in which “light-receiving element 22 receives light” / “light-receiving element 12 is light-shielded” (step ST11). When the determination condition of step ST11 is satisfied (step ST11; YES), the process proceeds to step ST8. On the other hand, when the determination condition of step ST11 is not satisfied (step ST11; NO), the insertion state determination unit 34 refers to the detection result of the light receiving elements 12 and 22 by the insertion detection unit 32, and “the light receiving element 22 is shielded” / It is determined whether or not the state where “the light receiving element 12 is shielded” has shifted to the state where “the light receiving element 22 receives light” / “the light receiving element 12 receives light” (step ST12).
 ステップST12の判定条件を満たす場合(ステップST12;YES)、挿入状態判定部34は光記録媒体70が強制的に引き抜かれたと判定し(ステップST13)、ステップST9の排出動作に進む。一方、ステップST12の判定条件を満たさない場合(ステップST12;NO)、ローディング完了検知部64はスイッチがONされローディングが完了したか否か判定を行う(ステップST14)。スイッチがOFFの場合には(ステップST14;NO)、ステップST4の判定処理に戻る。一方、スイッチがONの場合には(ステップST14;YES)、光記録媒体70の正常挿入動作であると判定し(ステップST15)、処理を終了する。 If the determination condition of step ST12 is satisfied (step ST12; YES), the insertion state determination unit 34 determines that the optical recording medium 70 has been forcibly pulled out (step ST13), and proceeds to the discharge operation of step ST9. On the other hand, when the determination condition of step ST12 is not satisfied (step ST12; NO), the loading completion detection unit 64 determines whether the switch is turned on and the loading is completed (step ST14). If the switch is OFF (step ST14; NO), the process returns to the determination process of step ST4. On the other hand, if the switch is ON (step ST14; YES), it is determined that the optical recording medium 70 is normally inserted (step ST15), and the process ends.

 図5は、再生可能な光記録媒体70が短時間挿入された後に引き抜かれ、再度挿入された場合を示している。
 受光素子22が遮光状態に移行したことより挿入物の挿入が検知され(図5の「挿入」)、モータ62が搬送方向に駆動する。ただし、受光素子22が受光状態に移行したため(図5の「引き抜き」)、モータ62の駆動を停止させる。待機時間内に再度受光素子22が遮光状態に移行したことにより挿入物の挿入が検知され(図5の「再挿入」)、モータ62が搬送方向に駆動する。ここで、タイマ33の計測値がリセットされる。その後、受光素子12が遮光状態に移行するため、モータ62の駆動が継続される。
5 to 9 are diagrams showing the detection state of the insertion detection unit and the operation of the motor of the optical recording medium reproducing device according to the first embodiment. The arrangement of the light emitting elements 11 and 21 and the light receiving elements 12 and 22 will be described by taking the arrangement shown in FIG. 2 as an example.
FIG. 5 shows a case where the reproducible optical recording medium 70 is pulled out and inserted again for a short time.
The insertion of the insert is detected when the light receiving element 22 shifts to the light shielding state (“insertion” in FIG. 5), and the motor 62 is driven in the transport direction. However, since the light receiving element 22 has shifted to the light receiving state (“pulling” in FIG. 5), the driving of the motor 62 is stopped. The insertion of the insert is detected when the light receiving element 22 again shifts to the light shielding state within the waiting time ("reinsertion" in FIG. 5), and the motor 62 is driven in the transport direction. Here, the measured value of the timer 33 is reset. Thereafter, since the light receiving element 12 shifts to a light shielding state, the motor 62 is continuously driven.
 図6は、再生可能な光記録媒体70が短時間挿入された後に引き抜かれ、再度挿入されなかった場合を示している。
 受光素子22が遮光状態に移行したことより挿入物の挿入が検知され(図6の「挿入」)、モータ62が搬送方向に駆動する。ただし、受光素子22が受光状態に移行したため(図6の「引き抜き」)、モータ62の駆動を停止させる。しかし、待機時間内に再度受光素子22が遮光状態に移行しなかったため、モータが排出方向に駆動される。
FIG. 6 shows a case where the reproducible optical recording medium 70 is pulled out after being inserted for a short time and is not inserted again.
The insertion of the insert is detected when the light receiving element 22 shifts to the light shielding state (“insertion” in FIG. 6), and the motor 62 is driven in the transport direction. However, since the light receiving element 22 has shifted to the light receiving state (“pulling” in FIG. 6), the driving of the motor 62 is stopped. However, since the light receiving element 22 does not shift to the light shielding state again within the waiting time, the motor is driven in the discharge direction.
 図7は、異物が挿入された場合を示している。
 受光素子22が遮光状態に移行したことにより挿入物の挿入が検知され(図7の挿入)、モータ62が搬送方向に駆動する。その後、受光素子12が遮光状態に移行したが受光素子22は受光状態に移行したため、モータ62が排出方向に駆動される。
FIG. 7 shows a case where a foreign object is inserted.
The insertion of the insert is detected when the light receiving element 22 shifts to the light shielding state (insertion in FIG. 7), and the motor 62 is driven in the transport direction. Thereafter, the light receiving element 12 has shifted to the light shielding state, but the light receiving element 22 has shifted to the light receiving state, so that the motor 62 is driven in the ejection direction.
 図8は、再生可能な光記録媒体70が短時間挿入された後に引き抜かれ、再度挿入される動作が繰り返し行われた場合を示している。
 まず、図8(a)では、受光素子22が遮光状態に移行したことにより挿入物の挿入が検知され(図8(a)の「挿入」)、モータ62が搬送方向に駆動する。ただし、受光素子22が受光状態に移行したため(図8(a)の「引き抜き1」)、モータ62の駆動を停止させる。待機時間内に再度受光素子22が遮光状態に移行したことにより挿入物の挿入が検知され(図8(a)の「再挿入1」)、モータ62が搬送方向に駆動する。ここで、タイマ33の計測値がリセットされる。その後、再度受光素子22が受光状態に移行したため(図8(a)の「引き抜き2」)、モータ62の駆動を停止させる。待機時間内に再度受光素子22が遮光状態に移行したことにより挿入物の挿入が検知され(図8(a)の「再挿入2」)、モータ62が搬送方向に駆動する。ここでも再度タイマ33の計測値をリセットする。その後、受光素子12が遮光状態に移行するため、モータ62の駆動が継続される。
FIG. 8 shows a case in which the reproducible optical recording medium 70 is pulled out after being inserted for a short time and then repeatedly inserted.
First, in FIG. 8A, the insertion of the insert is detected because the light receiving element 22 has shifted to the light shielding state (“insertion” in FIG. 8A), and the motor 62 is driven in the transport direction. However, since the light receiving element 22 has shifted to the light receiving state (“Pullout 1” in FIG. 8A), the drive of the motor 62 is stopped. The insertion of the insert is detected when the light receiving element 22 again shifts to the light shielding state within the standby time ("reinsertion 1" in FIG. 8A), and the motor 62 is driven in the transport direction. Here, the measured value of the timer 33 is reset. Thereafter, since the light receiving element 22 again shifts to the light receiving state (“drawing 2” in FIG. 8A), the driving of the motor 62 is stopped. The insertion of the insert is detected when the light receiving element 22 again shifts to the light shielding state within the waiting time ("reinsertion 2" in FIG. 8A), and the motor 62 is driven in the transport direction. Here again, the measured value of the timer 33 is reset. Thereafter, since the light receiving element 12 shifts to the light shielding state, the driving of the motor 62 is continued.
 さらに図8(b)では、短時間挿入が3回繰り返された後、再生可能な光記録媒体70が再生位置に搬送される場合を示している。短時間挿入の上限回数や上限時間を設けることなく複数回の短時間挿入を受け付けるように設定してもよいし、タイマ33とは異なるタイマを設け、一回目の短時間挿入が実行された場合に計測を開始し、計測時間が一定時間を経過すると、エラーストップとして光記録媒体70の挿入の受け付けを中止する、あるいはモータ62を排出方向に駆動させるように構成してもよい。 Further, FIG. 8B shows a case where the reproducible optical recording medium 70 is transported to the reproduction position after the short-time insertion is repeated three times. It may be set to accept a plurality of short-time insertions without setting an upper limit number of times and an upper limit time, or when a timer different from the timer 33 is provided and the first short-time insertion is executed When the measurement time is started and a certain time has elapsed, the insertion of the optical recording medium 70 may be stopped as an error stop, or the motor 62 may be driven in the ejection direction.
 図9は、挿入物が強制的に引き抜かれた場合を示している。
 受光素子22が遮光状態に移行したことより挿入物の挿入が検知され(図9の「挿入」、モータ62が搬送方向に駆動する。さらに受光素子12も遮光状態に移行し、まず受光素子12が受光状態に移行し(図9の「強制的引き抜き」)、さらに受光素子22が受光状態に移行したことから、光記録媒体70の強制的な引き抜きが行われたと判断し、モータ62が排出方向に駆動される。
FIG. 9 shows the case where the insert is forcibly pulled out.
The insertion of the insert is detected from the fact that the light receiving element 22 has shifted to the light shielding state ("insertion" in FIG. 9), and the motor 62 is driven in the conveying direction. The light receiving element 12 also shifts to the light shielding state. Shifts to the light receiving state (“forced extraction” in FIG. 9), and further, since the light receiving element 22 has shifted to the light receiving state, it is determined that the optical recording medium 70 has been forcibly pulled out, and the motor 62 is ejected. Driven in the direction.
 以上のように、この実施の形態1によれば、受光素子12,22の受光状態に基づいて、再生可能な光記録媒体70の挿入であるか、異物の挿入であるか、また光記録媒体70の挿入が正常の挿入であるか、短時間挿入された後に引き抜かれたか、強制的に引き抜かれたかを判定し、短時間挿入された後は、一定時間排出動作に移行せず、光記録媒体70の再挿入を待機するように構成したので、再挿入が検知された場合にスムーズに搬送動作に移行させることができる。 As described above, according to the first embodiment, based on the light receiving state of the light receiving elements 12 and 22, it is possible to insert the reproducible optical recording medium 70, foreign matter, or the optical recording medium. It is determined whether the insertion of 70 is a normal insertion, whether it has been pulled out after being inserted for a short time, or forcibly pulled out. Since it is configured to wait for the re-insertion of the medium 70, the transfer operation can be smoothly performed when the re-insertion is detected.
 また、短時間挿入された後に引き抜きが行われ、再挿入を待機したが再挿入が行われなかった場合、異物と判定された場合、強制的な引き抜きが発生した場合には、排出動作に移行するように構成したので、異物の挿入を防ぐことができる。 Also, after the insertion is performed for a short time, the extraction is performed, the re-insertion is waited, but the re-insertion is not performed, the foreign object is determined, the case where the forcible extraction occurs, the process proceeds to the discharge operation. Since it comprised so that insertion of a foreign material can be prevented.
 なお、上述した実施の形態1では、発光素子11,21および受光素子12,22を図2に示す配置とし、異物の形状を挿入時に受光素子22を遮光し、異物が装置内に完全に搬送される前に受光素子22が受光に変化する形状として説明を行ったが、発光素子および受光素子の配置数および配置位置の変更により、検知可能な異物の形状も適宜変化する。 In the first embodiment described above, the light emitting elements 11 and 21 and the light receiving elements 12 and 22 are arranged as shown in FIG. 2, the light receiving element 22 is shielded when the shape of the foreign matter is inserted, and the foreign matter is completely conveyed into the apparatus. The shape of the light receiving element 22 that changes to light reception has been described before the detection. However, the shape of the detectable foreign matter changes as appropriate by changing the number of light emitting elements and the light receiving elements and the arrangement position.
 なお、本願発明はその発明の範囲内において、実施の形態の任意の構成要素の変形、もしくは実施の形態の任意の構成要素の省略が可能である。 In the present invention, any component of the embodiment can be modified or any component of the embodiment can be omitted within the scope of the invention.
